Demon Attack by ImagicWith exclusive rights to sell a home version of the cult arcade hit Phoenix under its belt, Atari sues third-party software house Imagic over its space shooter game Demon Attack, which is somewhat similar to Phoenix – too similar for Atari’s tastes.

Windows

Windows 1.0Microsoft introduces a graphical user interface for the IBM PC compatible computers, Windows 1.0. Essentially a GUI shell for Microsoft’s MS-DOS operating system, Windows arrives over two years after it was initially announced in 1983. To avoid legal entanglements with Apple (which has already launched a more visually-pleasing user interface with its Macintosh computers), Microsoft deliberately omits such now common features as overlapping or resizeable windows. Due to the amount of RAM in most users’ PCs, Windows’ multitasking ability is extremely limited.

Warner Brothers announces new network

PTENAfter two years of running the numbers and making alliances with foreign investors, Warner Brothers announces that it will launch its own television network, the Prime Time Entertainment Network, as a joint venture with Chris-Craft Industries’ group of television stations. Modeled after the recently premiered Fox Network, PTEN will begin with one night a week of programming, gradually increasing to two or more. With Fox still only broadcasting two nights a week, ironically, most TV stations that sign up as early adopters of PTEN are Fox affiliates. The network is expected to sign on in late 1992 or early 1993, and will become the home to the science fiction series Babylon 5.
